Dougie Poynter
Dougie started of in the group McFly at the young age of 15. The other band member played a huge role in his life, he saw them as best friends, older brothers and his dad all rolled into one. Due to his dad leaving just before he joined the band he saw McFly as a good distraction and was looking for a father figure within the group, and his band supported in him that and he felt that he has 3 dads instead of one. The rest of the band taught Dougie the simple things in life such as shaving and opening a bank account. During his career Dougie unfortunately had a bad experience with drink and drugs. He never realised how bad it was actually someone else who said to Dougie "enough is enough" before he knew it he was in rehab. Rehab is tough for every one but Dougie saw it as " the best thing that ever happened to him." As news with Dougie's battle of addiction emerged his band mates, his mom and family started to become very concerned. With support from his family and friends Dougie overcame his addiction and now in a "happy place." He recently co-wrote a book with Tom Fletcher called "The Dinosaur Who Pooped A Planet".
